[0050] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0051] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0052] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments provided herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the embodiments provided below are partial embodiments for implementing the present invention, rather than providing all embodiments for implementing the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the technical solutions recorded in the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in any combination.

[0053] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a method or apparatus including a series of elements includes not only the elements explicitly recorded, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to the implementation of the method or apparatus. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "includes a ..." does not exclude the presence of other related elements (such as steps in a method or modules in an apparatus, such as a module that can be a part of a circuit, a part of a processor, a part of a program or software, etc.) in the method or apparatus including the element.

[0054] For example, the software distribution method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a series of steps, but the software distribution method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the steps described in this document. Similarly, the software distribution device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a series of modules, but the software distribution device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to including the modules explicitly described, and may also include modules required to obtain relevant information or perform processing based on information.

[0055] Before introducing the software distribution method, the application background of the present invention is first explained.

[0056] The installation of software applications is of great significance to the use of devices (i.e., hosts). When there are a large number of devices, it takes a lot of time to install software for each device. Therefore, there are usually the following two possible implementations:

[0057] 1. Manual installation: The administrator manually downloads the software installation package on each host, or uses the command line to install the agent;

[0058] 2. Remote push: The administrator writes automated installation scripts and executes these scripts in batches through management tools to install the software agent on all target hosts at the same time.

[0059] Then, in actual implementation, the related technologies have the following technical problems:

[0060] 1. Although the manual installation method is intuitive and simple, it undoubtedly increases a lot of manpower and workload for administrators, especially when managing a large number of hosts, the efficiency is extremely low;

[0061] 2. The remote push method is more efficient than manual push, but when deployed on a large scale, it will bring a higher load to the host of the management software, and will also put greater pressure on the network bandwidth, affecting the overall network performance.

[0062] Based on the above technical problems, the technical concept of the present invention is as follows: during large-scale deployment, the management device can determine the host where the software is installed for the first time in each network segment based on different network segments, and install the software on the host, so as to reduce the load pressure of the management device that needs to install all hosts, and the pressure of network bandwidth consumption; then, the host with the software installed is used to provide software installation services to other hosts in the corresponding network segment, and provide software installation services to achieve installation of all hosts.

[0063] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below through specific embodiments. The execution subject of the present invention is an electronic device, which can be a control device or a host in the following implementation, etc. The execution subject is different based on the solutions of the corresponding embodiments.

[0064] It should be noted that the following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0065] Figure 1 A flowchart of a first embodiment of the software distribution method provided by the present invention is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0066] The interaction between the first host and the control device is used for illustration.

[0067] Step 11, the control device obtains host information of each host in at least one network segment;

[0068] In this step, the control device provides software installation services for each host. In order to accurately install software for each host, it is necessary to obtain host information corresponding to all hosts.

[0069] Optionally, the control device may control all hosts in at least one network segment; the host information may be basic information of the host.

[0070] In a possible implementation, it may be resource usage information and software information; the software information may include: whether the software exists, and the software version when the software exists, etc.; it may also include: Internet Protocol (IP) address, operating system version, etc.

[0071] The network segment may be a part of the pre-division of the IP address space to facilitate management and allocation of software installation. That is, the hosts in the IP address space controlled by the control device are the hosts on each network segment.

[0072] Optionally, step 11 may be implemented as follows:

[0073] Step 1: broadcast query information to at least one network segment at a preset frequency, where the query information is used to request host information of each host;

[0074] In this implementation, for each network segment, all hosts in the network can be dynamically discovered and identified by periodically polling the current network segment and sending query information, such as broadcast packets.

[0075] Step 2: Receive host information sent by each host in at least one network segment.

[0076] In this implementation, the host information of each host, such as the IP address and operating system version, is obtained to provide support for subsequent software installation.

[0077] Step 12: For each network segment, the control device determines the first host in the network segment for downloading and installing the software package according to the host information of each host in the network segment;

[0078] In this step, for each network segment, in order to determine the host in the network segment that is beneficial to providing installation services to other hosts, it is necessary to obtain host information based on each host obtained in the network segment, and determine the host used to download and install the software package, which is recorded as the first host.

[0079] In order to effectively balance the network load and avoid excessive pressure on a single point, the first host can be determined in each network segment.

[0080] For example, the software can be protection software, application software, management software, etc.

[0081] The number of the first hosts may be one or more.

[0082] Step 13: The control device sends a first instruction to each first host in at least one network segment;

[0083] Among them, for each first host, the first instruction is used to instruct the first host to obtain and install the software package from the control device; the first instruction is an instruction generated by the control device after determining the first host in the network segment for downloading and installing the software package based on the host information of each host in the network segment where the first host is located.

[0084] In this step, for each network segment, after the control device determines the first host, it sends a first instruction to the first host, and then the first host receives the first instruction.

[0085] Step 14: The first host obtains the software package from the control device according to the first instruction and installs it, and after the installation is completed, sends first installation completion information to the control device;

[0086] In this step, after receiving the first instruction, the first host downloads the software package from the control device and installs the software.

[0087] Optionally, the installation may be implemented by dynamically adjusting the installation parameters of the software package according to the operating system version and hardware configuration of the first host to ensure that the installation process is completed smoothly.

[0088] Furthermore, after completion, relevant information about the installation completion is returned to the control device, which is recorded as first installation completion information, so as to facilitate the management and maintenance of the first host by the control device.

[0089] In addition, the returned information may also include the running status of the software after installation, so that the user can understand the running status of the software.

[0090] Step 15: After receiving the first installation completion information from the first host, the control device sends a second instruction to the first host;

[0091] The second instruction is used to instruct the first host to broadcast the third instruction to the network segment where the first host is located, and the third instruction is used to instruct other hosts in the network segment that have not installed the software to download and install the software package from the host that has installed the software.

[0092] Here, the host on which the software has been installed may be the first host.

[0093] In this step, after the first host completes the software installation, the control device will send a second instruction to the first host so that the second instruction can access all IPs (i.e. all hosts) in the network segment to broadcast the third instruction. This broadcast mechanism ensures that hosts in the network segment that have not installed the software can promptly discover and obtain the installation package.

[0094] Optionally, the download can be implemented based on a peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol, through which other hosts can download the software package in parallel from the installed host. This method can make full use of network resources, significantly increase the download speed, and reduce the load on a single host.

[0095] In one implementation, the third instruction carries basic information required for downloading the software, such as a download address, a file verification code, and the like.

[0096] The software package may be an agent package.

[0097] According to the software distribution method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a control device obtains host information of each host in at least one network segment, and for each network segment, the control device determines a first host in the network segment for downloading and installing a software package based on the host information of each host in the network segment, and the control device sends a first instruction to each first host in the at least one network segment, wherein for each first host, the first instruction is used to instruct the first host to obtain the software package from the control device and install it, and then the first host receives the first instruction sent by the control device, and then the first host obtains the software package from the control device and installs it according to the first instruction, and after the installation is completed, sends a first installation completion message to the control device, and finally, after receiving the first installation completion message from the first host, the control device sends a second instruction to the first host, and the second instruction is used to instruct the first host to broadcast a third instruction to the network segment where the first host is located, and the third instruction is used to instruct other hosts in the network segment to download and install the software package from the host that sends the third instruction. In this embodiment, the control device can determine the first host for downloading and installing the software package on each network segment based on the host information of each host on at least one network segment obtained, and enable each first host to install the software first. Then, based on each first host, other hosts on their respective network segments are controlled to install the software, thereby improving the distribution efficiency to ensure that each host can obtain and install the required software in a timely and effective manner, while avoiding the waste of resources caused by human participation in the entire process and reducing the load pressure of the management device required to install all hosts and the pressure of network bandwidth consumption.

[0098] Based on the above implementation, Figure 2 A flowchart of a second embodiment of the software distribution method provided by the present invention is shown. Figure 2 As shown, the above step 12 includes the following steps:

[0099] The execution subject is a control device; the following embodiments are described for any network segment.

[0100] Step 21: taking a host whose software information does not contain the software corresponding to the installation package, or / and a host whose software version in the software information is inconsistent with the version of the software corresponding to the installation package, as at least one candidate host for the software package to be installed in the network segment;

[0101] In this step, when determining the first host, it is first necessary to determine the host on which the software needs to be installed in the network segment, which is recorded as a candidate host.

[0102] Optionally, the software information may be information displayed in the host computer indicating whether the software exists, or whether the version of the existing software is consistent with the version to be installed.

[0103] For example, if the software information in host 01 shows that the software does not exist, then host 01 can be used as a candidate host; for another example, if the software information in host 02 shows that the software version is too low, then host 02 can be used as a candidate host.

[0104] It should be understood that each host corresponds to a different IP address.

[0105] Step 22: Determine the candidate host with the smallest resource occupancy information among the candidate hosts as the first host in the network segment for downloading and installing the software package.

[0106] In this step, in order to improve installation efficiency, a predetermined algorithm may be used to determine a host in the network segment that can represent the control device for installation from at least one candidate host, and use it as a representative to download and install the initial agent package.

[0107] Optionally, the predetermined algorithm is determined based on resource occupancy information. One implementation is that the resource occupancy information of the host shows that the lower the current resource occupancy is, the more suitable it is to provide installation services for the network segment.

[0108] Exemplarily, the resource usage information may be processor usage, memory usage, network bandwidth, and the like.

[0109] For example, if the current processor usage is low, more available capacity can be provided, providing higher efficiency for the installation service; the current memory usage shows that the more available memory is, the higher the available space is provided for the installation service, and so on.

[0110] In a possible implementation, the candidate host whose resource occupation information shows that the current resource occupation is lower is selected as the first host.

[0111] The software distribution method provided by the embodiment of the present invention controls the host whose software information does not contain the software corresponding to the installation package, or / and the host whose software version in the software information is inconsistent with the version of the software corresponding to the installation package, as at least one candidate host for the software package to be installed in the network segment, and then determines the candidate host with the smallest resource occupancy information among the candidate hosts as the first host in the network segment for downloading and installing the software package. In this embodiment, for each network segment, the candidate hosts that need to install the software are first determined, and based on the resource occupancy information of these hosts, the hosts suitable for installation by the controlled device and as the hosts that subsequently provide installation services for the network segment are determined, which can improve the distribution efficiency.

[0112] Based on the above implementation, Figure 3 A flowchart of a third embodiment of the software distribution method provided by the present invention is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0113] The interaction between a first host and a second host is used for illustration, and the first host and the second host are located in the same network segment.

[0114] Step 31, the first host broadcasts the third instruction to the network segment where the first host is located;

[0115] Among them, the third instruction is an instruction generated after the first host receives the first instruction and downloads and installs the software package from the control device, and the first instruction is an instruction generated by the control device after determining the first host in the network segment for downloading and installing the software package based on the host information of each host in the network segment where the first host is located.

[0116] In this step, after the first host completes the software installation, it broadcasts the third instruction to the network segment where it is located, so that the hosts that have not installed the software can download and install the software from the host that broadcasts the third instruction.

[0117] Step 32: The second host obtains the third instruction broadcasted in the network segment where the first host is located;

[0118] In this step, the second host monitors the network segment in real time and obtains the third instruction;

[0119] Among them, the third instruction can be sent from the first host or from other hosts that have installed the software, which can be known based on the download address obtained by parsing.

[0120] Step 33: The second host sends an installation request to the host in the network segment that has installed the software according to the third instruction;

[0121] In this step, the second host parses the third instruction, and then sends an installation request to the host in the network segment that has installed the software, that is, initiates a request to the download address in the third instruction to obtain the software package.

[0122] Optionally, if the first host receives the installation request, the software package is sent to the second host.

[0123] In this implementation, if the download address indicates the first host in the network segment, the installation request is sent to the first host, and after the first host obtains the software package, the software package is sent to the second host.

[0124] Step 34: The second host obtains the software package from any host that has installed the software and after installing it, sends a second installation completion message to the control device and sends a third instruction to the network segment where it is located.

[0125] In this step, after the host with the installed software obtains the installation request, it sends the installation package to the second host so that the second host performs the installation based on the installation package. After the installation is completed, the installation completion information is sent to the control device, recorded as the second installation completion information, to facilitate the management and maintenance of the control device.

[0126] Furthermore, if the second host is a host on which the software has been installed, the following implementation may also be included:

[0127] Step 1: The second host receives an installation request sent by any host that does not have the software installed;

[0128] In this implementation, the second host has already installed the software and can also provide installation services for hosts that have not installed the software, that is, it receives an installation request sent by any host that has not installed the software.

[0129] The installation request is a request sent by any host that has not installed the software to the second host corresponding to the download address carried in the third instruction received by the host.

[0130] Step 2: The second host sends a software package to the host without the software installed, so that the host without the software installed installs the software based on the installation package, sends third installation completion information to the control device, and sends a third instruction to the network segment.

[0131] In this implementation, after the second host sends the software package to the host that has not installed the software, the host that has not installed the software installs the software, and after the installation is complete, sends installation completion information to the control device, recorded as third installation completion information, to facilitate management and maintenance by the control device.

[0132] At this point, the host that has been successfully installed can also serve as the host on which the software has been installed.

[0133] Furthermore, the second host on which the software has been installed broadcasts a third instruction to the network segment where it is located to indicate that it is a host on which the software has been installed and can participate in the installation service for hosts on which the software has not been installed.

[0134] It should be understood that the third instruction carries the address of the host that sends the instruction, that is, the download address.

[0135] The software distribution method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is that the first host broadcasts the third instruction to the network segment where the first host is located, the second host obtains the third instruction broadcasted in the network segment where the first host is located, and then the second host sends an installation request to the host in the network segment that has installed the software according to the third instruction, and the second host obtains the software package from any host that has installed the software and after installing it, sends the second installation completion information to the control device, and sends the third instruction to the network segment where it is located. In this embodiment, after the second host obtains and installs the software from the first host, as a host that has installed the software, it participates in the installation steps of the host that has not installed the software, that is, the installed host is used as a distribution node, which significantly improves the efficiency and speed of software distribution, while reducing the dependence on the control device and optimizing the utilization of the overall network resources.

[0136] Based on the above implementation, Figure 4 The structural diagram of the software distribution system provided by the present invention is shown as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the system includes the following: a control device, a first host in each network segment, and a second host in each network segment.

[0137] Exemplarily, the control device is used to execute the software distribution method applied to the control device involved in the above embodiment; the first host is used to execute the software distribution method applied to the first host involved in the above embodiment; the second host is used to execute the software distribution method applied to the second host involved in the above embodiment.

[0138] Among them, the control device can be a host protection server (that is, the software can be protection software); the first host in each network segment and the second host in each network segment are both cloud hosts.

[0139] In one possible implementation, the host protection server sends a core script to each cloud host in each network segment, and determines the cloud host for initial installation in each network segment. The determined cloud host then requests the host protection server to download the agent package, and then broadcasts the agent package to each network segment. Each network segment downloads the agent package P2P to achieve the installation of protection software for all cloud hosts.

[0140] Among them, one implementation of the core script is the above-mentioned polling broadcast and security service agent installation.

[0141] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 5 A flowchart of a fourth embodiment of the software distribution method provided by the present invention is shown. Figure 5 As shown, a specific possible implementation of the software distribution method is described;

[0142] This includes control devices (such as host protection servers) and various hosts (such as various cloud hosts, including cloud hosts in various network segments).

[0143] Step 1: The host protection server sends core service scripts to each cloud host;

[0144] The main functions of the core service script include polling broadcast and security service agent installation. The core service script dynamically discovers and identifies all hosts in the network by regularly polling the current network segment and sending broadcast packets. This process ensures that basic information of each host, such as IP address and operating system version, can be obtained, providing necessary data support for subsequent agent installation.

[0145] Step 2: The host protection server determines the network segment representative (i.e., the first host) in each network segment;

[0146] Among them, by polling and broadcasting the collected host information, the core service script can accurately identify the target host and determine whether it needs to install the protection software agent; the core service script uses a custom intelligent algorithm to calculate the network segment where each IP is located, and selects an IP from each network segment as a representative to download the agent package. This method can effectively balance the network load and avoid excessive pressure on a single point.

[0147] Step 3: The network segment in the cloud host requests the host protection server to download the agent package;

[0148] Step 4: The host protection server sends an agent package to the network segment representative in the cloud host;

[0149] Step 5: The network segment representative in the cloud host broadcasts the agent package to the network segment;

[0150] Step 6: Execute the P2P download agent package in the network segment.

[0151] Among them, the target host selected in the above steps 3.4.5.6 will receive the agent package and automatically start the download and installation process; during the installation process, the script will dynamically adjust the installation parameters according to the operating system and hardware configuration of the target host to ensure the smooth completion of the installation process; after the installation is completed, the host will report the installation status to the core service script, including whether the installation is successful and the current running status, for subsequent management and maintenance; the P2P download mechanism makes the host with the agent installed become a new distribution node; the host without the agent installed receives the broadcast package from the installed host, which contains the basic information required for downloading, such as the download address, file verification code, etc.; the host without the agent installed initiates a request to the download address in the broadcast package through the P2P network to obtain the agent installation package; through the P2P protocol, the host without the agent installed can download the agent package from multiple installed hosts in parallel, which can make full use of network resources, significantly improve the download speed, and reduce the load of a single node; after the download is completed, the host without the agent installed automatically executes the installation process of the agent installation package and reports the installation status to the core service script.

[0152] The software distribution system and method provided by the embodiments of the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0153] Technical effect 1. Intelligent distribution management: Through the intelligent algorithm and polling broadcast technology of the core service script, automatic identification of hosts in the network and accurate distribution of security service agents are achieved, ensuring that each host can obtain and install the required protection software in a timely and effective manner;

[0154] Technical effect 2: Efficient network resource utilization: The P2P download mechanism is adopted, and the installed host is used as the distribution node, which significantly improves the efficiency and speed of agent distribution, reduces the dependence on core services, and optimizes the overall network resource utilization;

[0155] Technical effect 3, automated deployment and adjustment: During the automated deployment of the security service agent, the installation parameters are dynamically adjusted according to the operating system and hardware environment of the target host, ensuring a safe and reliable installation process and reducing installation failures and maintenance costs caused by environmental differences;

[0156] Technical effect 4, security and stability guarantee: through strict security policies and status feedback mechanisms, ensure that the protection software agent installed on each host runs reliably, effectively preventing malicious attacks and security threats;

[0157] Technical effect 5, effectively integrates polling broadcast, intelligent algorithm, P2P download and other technologies to form an innovative distribution system, providing new solutions and technical paths for host security protection in large-scale network environments.

[0160] A determination module 62, configured to determine, for each network segment, a first host in the network segment for downloading and installing a software package according to host information of each host in the network segment;

[0161] A sending module 63, configured to send a first instruction to each first host in at least one network segment, wherein for each first host, the first instruction is used to instruct the first host to obtain a software package from the control device and install it;

[0162] The sending module 63 is also used to send a second instruction to the first host after receiving the first installation completion information from the first host, the second instruction is used to instruct the first host to broadcast a third instruction to the network segment where the first host is located, and the third instruction is used to instruct the hosts in the network segment that have not installed the software to download and install the software package from the host that sends the third instruction.

[0163] In one or more embodiments, the determination module 62 is specifically configured to:

[0164] The host whose software information does not contain the software corresponding to the installation package, or / and the host whose software version in the software information is inconsistent with the version of the software corresponding to the installation package, is used as at least one candidate host for the software package to be installed in the network segment;

[0165] A candidate host with the smallest resource occupancy information among the candidate hosts is determined as a first host in the network segment for downloading and installing the software package.

[0167] Broadcasting query information to at least one network segment at a preset frequency, the query information being used to request host information of each host;

[0168] Receive host information sent by each host in at least one network segment.

[0169] From the above, it can be seen that the software distribution device provided by the embodiment of the present invention enables the control device to determine the first host for downloading and installing the software package on each network segment based on the host information of each host on at least one network segment obtained, and enable each first host to install the software first. Then, based on each first host, other hosts on their respective network segments are controlled to install the software, thereby improving the distribution efficiency to ensure that each host can obtain and install the required software in a timely and effective manner, while avoiding the waste of resources caused by human participation in the entire process, and reducing the load pressure of the management device required to install all hosts and the pressure of network bandwidth consumption.

[0172] The sending module 72 is used to obtain and install the software package from the control device according to the first instruction, and send first installation completion information to the control device after the installation is completed;

[0173] The acquisition module 71 is also used to receive a second instruction sent by the control device after the control device receives the first installation completion information, the second instruction is used to instruct the first host to broadcast a third instruction to the network segment where the first host is located, and the third instruction is used to instruct the hosts in the network segment that do not have the software installed to download and install the software package from the host that sends the third instruction.

[0174] In one or more embodiments, the sending module 72 is further configured to:

[0175] Broadcasting the third instruction to the network segment where the first host is located;

[0176] After receiving an installation request based on the third instruction from at least one second host among other hosts in the network segment, a software package is sent to the at least one second host.

[0177] From the above, it can be seen that the software distribution device provided in the embodiment of the present invention enables the first host to serve as a host for installing software for other hosts after the software is installed, thereby replacing the installation pressure on the control device side, reducing dependence on core services, and optimizing the utilization of overall network resources.

[0178] Figure 8 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the third embodiment of the software distribution device provided by the present invention. Figure 8 As shown, applied to any second host, the device includes:

[0179] an acquisition module 81, configured to acquire a third instruction broadcasted in the network segment where the first host is located, the third instruction being used to instruct a host in the network segment that has not installed the software to download and install the software package from the host that sends the third instruction, the third instruction being an instruction generated after the first host receives the first instruction and downloads and installs the software package from the control device, the first instruction being an instruction generated after the control device determines the first host in the network segment for downloading and installing the software package based on host information of each host in the network segment where the first host is located, and the second host and the first host are located in the same network segment;

[0181] The sending module 82 is further configured to obtain a software package from any host that has installed the software and, after installing the software package, send a second installation completion message to the control device and send a third instruction to the network segment where the software package is located.

[0182] In one or more embodiments, if the second host is a host on which the software has been installed; the acquisition module 71 is further used to: receive an installation request sent by any host on which the software has not been installed;

[0183] The sending module 82 is further configured to send a software package to a host without software installed, so that the host without software installed installs the software based on the installation package, send third installation completion information to the control device, and send a third instruction to the network segment.
